International investing has become easier and cheaper in the last decade and increasingly, Stockopedia’s subscribers are looking for investment ideas outside of their own country. In response, the editorial team has started to provide more ideas and analysis of international stocks and markets. A brand new structure of the Discuss section of the app will help make our research easier for investors in the UK and around the world to navigate and digest.
We’re also keen to keep the progress of the fast moving markets front and center of our app which means key data and price movements of your home market will be the first thing you see in our new and improved Today page.
Here is some detail on the changes you can now explore:
New blogs for international content
We’re assigning regions to our blogs to ensure that both our readers in the UK and around the world can easily consume the content that is most relevant to them. While specific country blogs will be access-controlled, subscribers from all regions will be able to read and interact with our international blogs which will provide a broad range of ideas and updates.
Our popular ‘Screens and Strategies’ blog which aims to help investors build their knowledge and uncover winning ideas will be renamed ‘Screens & StockRanks’ and will include more of a focus on our proprietary, market-beating strategy.
Meanwhile our brand new blog ‘International Stocks’ will provide a home for the analysis of companies listed outside of London. We plan to provide in-depth research of possible investment opportunities as well as short updates to keep readers informed of key news from market-leading companies.
We have also created a new home for global market round-ups, previously housed under two different blog titles. The ‘Market Wrap’ and ‘Idle Investor’ content will now live in the new ‘Market Analysis’ blog and will keep you updated on economic, political and financial news from around the world.
The world symbol will help readers identify and explore international blogs.
A simplified structure which puts all UK stock ideas in one place
Only members who have the UK as part of their subscription will have access to our premium UK blogs. This includes a new ‘Stock Pitches’ blog - a home for all our analysis of UK companies. Unlike previous iterations of the Stock Pitch brand, these articles will not form part of a model portfolio, but instead aim to provide detailed insight into potential investment ideas.
A new chapter in the life of the Stockopedia Investment Club has also given us an opportunity to re-assess how we monitor our model portfolios. Watch this space for further development here.
We have been delighted to welcome Graham Neary back to the team in recent weeks. He and Paul Scott will continue to run the ‘Small Cap Value Report’ to their impeccable standards on a daily basis.
Beyond Stock Pitches and the SCVR there are many UK-focused blogs to be discovered, as identified by the GB flag.
An eye on the future
The community discussion boards are a very special place in Stockopedia and our aim is to continue to develop the section to foster the sharing of ideas and experiences. The new layout of our in-house blogs will make it easier for the community to find the information that is relevant to them and it also provides us with a launch pad to make further exciting developments in the way we create and distribute content.
Where can I see these changes?
Subscribers in all regions will notice a re-ordering of the app’s ‘Today’ page where stock market charts will be the first widget on the page - helping all investors keep up to date with the fast moving markets.
For UK subscribers you can scroll down to find a link to the blogs. International audiences can use the neatly re-ordered side-bar or head to the Discuss page to find all the global blog titles.
